My fly casting CV

Certified French Casting Technique Instructor - FFPML – France

Also (few) known as "Linear casting technique" we use the rod a different way. Learn to play with the action point of your rod to create tight dynamic loops. A technique of its own, where the arm moves in line rather than in rotation. Best suited for progressive action rods but useful with every kind of setups.
Toy of choice: 8'6 - 11' # 4 - 6
Certified "Moniteur de Pêche Sportive Mouche et Lancer" on 23 Nov. 2011 - Ahun / F

When you want to effectively fish the dry-fly on fast moving waters, the the Italian Casting Style is THE answer.
No lob casts with heavy nymphs, but a short and stiff rod, veery looong leaders and your favorite hi-viz fly. Learn how to control your setup and become the new kid on the alpine stream.
